Getting Object Tooltips

For instant feedback on instance or site names in the

Package view

, a tooltip (hover text) can be enabled. In

addition, the contents of the tooltip can be printed to the

Tcl Console view

for easy copy and paste.

To get object tooltip text:

1. In the Tool Tip Text (

) section of the fly-out palette, check the object types to get tool tip text for.

2. In the Package view, hover over objects to display tool tip text. Optionally, press the ’p’ key on the

keyboard while tooltip text is visible to print the tooltip text to the Tcl Console view, allowing easy
copy and pasting to create Tcl commands or scripts.

Viewing Object Labels

A variety of object labels are available when displaying objects in the

Package view

(see ”Fly-Out Palette”).

To display object labels in the Package view:

1. In the Labels (

) section of the fly-out palette, check the object labels to display.

2. Pan and zoom to objects of interest to view the object labels.

Note:

Some labels do not show up unless the view is zoomed in far enough to display the extent of the text.
